No plumber, pipe fitter or other person will be permitted to
do any plumbing or pipe fitting work in connection with the sewer

with the Village, except in cases where state law permits building
owners to do their own work without being licensed.

A. No person in the business of gathering and disposing of septic tank
sludge or holding tank sewage shall transfer such material into any
disposal area or sewer manhole located within the Village boundaries
unless a permit for disposal has been first obtained from the Utility.
Written application for this permit shall be made to the Utility and
shall state the name and address of the applicant; the number of its
disposal units, and the make, model and license number of each unit.
Permits shall be nontransferable, except in the case of replacement
of the disposal unit for which a permit shall have been previously
issued. The permit may be obtained upon payment of a fee in accordance
with the Village's current Schedule of Fees. The Utility may impose
such conditions as it deems necessary on any permit granted.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
B. Charges for disposal shall be in accordance with the rate schedules
established by this chapter. Bills shall be mailed on a monthly basis;
and if payments are not received in 30 days thereof, disposal privileges
shall be suspended.
C. Any person disposing of septic tank or holding tank sludge agrees
to carry public liability insurance in accordance with the Village's
current Bond Schedule to protect any and all persons or property from
injury and/or damage caused in any way or manner by any act or failure
to act by any of his employees. The person(s) shall furnish a certificate
certifying such insurance to be in full force and effect.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
D. All materials dumped in the treatment system shall be of domestic
origin only. The user shall comply with the provisions of any and
all applicable ordinances of the Utility and shall not deposit or
drain any gasoline, oil, acid, alkali, grease, rags, waste, volatile
or inflammable liquids or other deleterious substances into any manhole,
nor allow any earth, sand or other solid material to pass into any
part of the sewerage system.
E. The person disposing of waste agrees to indemnify and save harmless
the Village from any and all liability and claims for damages arising
out of or resulting from work and labor performed.
Devices for measuring the volume of waste discharged may be
required by the approving authority if this volume cannot otherwise
be determined from the metered water consumption records. Metering
devices for determining the volume of waste shall be installed, owned
and maintained by the discharger. A maintenance schedule must be accepted
by the approving authority. Following approval and installation, such
meters may not be removed without the consent of the approving authority.
Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information relating
to proposed flow equalizations, pretreatment or processing facilities
shall be submitted for review of the approving authority prior to
the start of their construction if the effluent from such facilities
is to be discharged into the public sewers.
Under no circumstances may the introduction of wastes prohibited
by § NR 211.10, Wis. Adm. Code, be allowed into the waste
treatment system. Prohibited wastes include those:
A. Which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment work;
B. Which will cause corrosive structural damage to the treatment work;
C. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to
the flow in sewers or interference with the property operation of
the treatment work;
D. Wastewaters at a flow rate of pollutant loading which are excessive
over relatively short time periods so as to cause a loss of treatment
efficiency; or
E. Changes in discharge volume or composition from contributing industries
which overload the treatment works or cause a loss of treatment efficiency.
